Hi all, I work at a large body shop and we need decals like the ones in the attached image that are placed in the stripes on some cars. (Ignore the right column, we don't use those, they were just on this sample paper I made up a long time ago.) We're looking into getting a cutter, but we're looking to do it cheaply because not many cars have them and we only have to replace them when we fix a fender that had them originally, so it ends up being a couple per month.
As you can see, they're normally around half an inch in height. They're not very intricate, but they do have some small cuts and tight angles. In another thread, someone was told they'd need a cutter with a servo motor, not a stepper motor, for smaller than half inch cuts. I assume that's what I need too. So, what's the cheapest cutter that could make these?
I'll probably use free Linux software for everything, but where do you get the templates for these logos? Do you have to buy them somewhere?
Cutter options for small decals...
